Portable music... MD or MP3?

me ipod last for more then 10 hours. as far as i've tracked it without charging. And it'll last a hell of a lot more then 250 to 350 charges.

Plus the iPod is one of the very few with SO MANY addons and accessories for it. For example. one is an extra battery pack you can plug in to it and use it if your ipods battery is dead. There for it never becomes a paperweight (wouldnt even if you didnt have extra battery packs) same type of deal a Laptop would have. the batteries last for a long long time. (as far as chargings go)

As for MusicMatch..... its an annoying program. its a bitch to work with at first and confusing. once you understand what its actually doing tho, it becomes easy, you just load it up. put your music files on and be done with it.

But also Apple will be making the program Apple users use with thier iPods on windows sometime. iTunes i think it is.

im usin ephpod... havent tried musicmatch but ephpod is real easy so i guess il stick with it... i just got this thing working and i seem to be havin some battery issues.. but that should go away. Im finally happy with my purchase

... I've already got like 4 albums on there... which is already more than you can get on an average MD .. so

Instead of writing text files for cheating.. just record your voice reading off a study note. Then play that while your writing your test!

that could work too

Im glad i got this thing workin... got like 6 albums on it so far. Im a little bit upset tho that i dont have usb 2.0 or firewire.. my transfer speed is only about 1 mb per second... firewire is sappose to be 400 mbits/ second.. so i think thats like 50 mbytes per second.. which would be nice.. but whatever

Yeah, I'm glad I have firewire.

Glad to hear you finally got things working. Enjoy your iPod!

bro. goto the store, you can get a PCI card with 2 firewire ports on it for like $30

you just plug it into one of your PCI slots on the back of your PC and your ready to go with the firewire.

USB2 also. but i prefer FireWire cuz it will charge the iPod while its plugged into the PC and i dont think USB2 will do that
